Answer:

x=12

Explanation:

To solve for the variable, we must isolate the variable, which is x.


√(x+4) -3=1

3 is being subtracted from the square root of x+4. The inverse of subtraction is addition. Add 3 to both sides of the equation.


√(x+4) -3+3=1+3


√(x+4) =1+3


√(x+4) =4

The square root of x+4 is being taken. The inverse of a square root is a square. Square both sides of the equation.


(√(x+4))^2 =4^2


x+4=4^2

Evaluate the exponent.

4^2= 4*4=16


x+4=16

4 is being added to x. The inverse of addition is subtraction. Subtract 4 from both sides of the equation.


x+4-4=16-4


x=16-4


x=12

The solution to this equation is x=12.
